Los Angeles County Supervisor, proudly serving the 2nd District.

The challenges facing our hospitals today look dif The challenges facing our hospitals today look different from when voters approved Measure B more than 25 years ago to help expand access to lifesaving trauma and emergency care. 

From the lasting impacts of COVID-19 to federal funding cuts under H.R. 1 that is leaving thousands of LA County residents uninsured, hospitals like Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital are caring for more patients with fewer financial resources.

That's why tomorrow I'm asking the Board of Supervisors to approve an independent study for how ongoing Measure B funds are allocated. 

Every hospital in our trauma care system plays a vital role. This review is about making sure Measure B continues to fulfill its purpose of supporting a strong, sustainable countywide trauma system.

Four years ago on July 20, we joined with the comm Four years ago on July 20, we joined with the community to return Bruce’s Beach to the descendants of Charles and Willa Bruce, nearly a century after it was wrongfully taken from the Bruce family through policies rooted in systemic racism.
 
I am proud to have co-authored the motion with Supervisor Hahn that helped make the return of Bruce’s Beach possible. It took years of advocacy leading up to our motion and more than a year of collaboration among the County, the State, advocates, and the Bruce family to make it a reality.
 
This was always about righting an historic injustice and restoring the Bruce family’s autonomy to decide how best to utilize the land that was always theirs.
 
Bruce’s Beach was one of the only safe places for Black beachgoers a century ago, it will always be a significant part of our County and history.
 
While we cannot change the past, we must have the courage to face it and remain committed to challenging racism and inequities that persist.
